AI研究者应正视自身在智能武器开发中的责任与伦理困境。
The implicated scientist: on the role of AI researchers in the development of weapons systems
- 分析AI研究者在智能武器系统中的直接与间接责任
- 指出当前AI军备竞赛加剧了全球不平等与人道灾难
- 倡导研究者以远距共情姿态支持技术受害群体
人工智能技术正越来越多地应用于现代武器系统，近期已涉及大规模杀戮与毁灭。目前，强大利益相关方正激烈竞争，加速具备自动化或基于AI组件的武器扩散，这一现象被称为AI军备竞赛。此竞争可能在未来引发更严重的死亡与破坏，并加剧权力与财富不平等。本文旨在揭示AI研究者作为技术危害中被牵连的主体角色，探讨其具体牵连机制，并探索如何将这种牵连转化为对技术强化不公受害者的差异化、长距离团结。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are increasingly used in modern weapons systems. Notably, these systems have recently been involved in mass killings and destruction at scale. Furthermore, there is currently a strong interest and competition among powerful players to accelerate the proliferation of weapons with automated or AI-based components, a phenomenon known as AI arms race. This competition poses a risk of causing even more deaths and devastation in the future, as well as increased power and wealth inequality. In this work, we aim to shed light on the role of AI researchers as implicated subjects in the harms caused by weapons enabled by AI technologies. We investigate and discuss the specifics of this implication and explore ways to transfigure this position of implication into one of differentiated, long-distance solidarity with the victims of technologically fortified injustices.
